Hi, I received a powerbi file with Azure and SharePoint data sources. I want to make a report based on the tables in the data model. I do not need to resource data. But I get the "Apply Change" message and can not get rid of it. When I click on apply I get "Credentials are required to connect to the SharePoint source" message. when I discard the change the message appears again.
How can I get rid of the message so that I can work to prepare reports?
Hi @koorosh
You need to re-edit the credentials of the data source to re-authenticate the SharePoint data source, otherwise you cannot obtain the data source data and create the report, you can refer to the following link to re-edit the data source credentials.

Hi Yolo,
I do not need to refresh the data or get the new data. So I guess I should be able to create reports based on the data that loaded before in the model? Am I right?
The someone who send me the file so that I create report for him , got the data from sources and loaded in the model. So for creating reports I do not need credentials. Am I Right?
I just cannot take powerquery advantages and refresh data. Am I right?
Best regards
